The tide in the marriage equality debate has shifted faster than anyone could have predicted. It wasn't even 10 years ago that Kentuckians overwhelmingly voted into our constitution that marriage should be defined as between a man and woman and that even civil unions would be banned among same-sex couples. But in recent weeks, U.S. District Judge John Heyburn II ruled our commonwealth must recognize any marriage performed outside Kentucky as a legal union, which many believe will lay the foundation for marriage equality in the Bluegrass state.
